Barnes Boys - Where They At


Bodie Boy...he has been a little stinker lately! so mischievous (and dangerously quietly mischievous) i am talking drawing on the walls, drawing with crayon on the car window, sneaking into the fridge and throwing food all over, punching his little brother and then looking like he did nothing wrong...and then he has been the opposite of quiet in not so fun ways - throwing a tantrum for an hour when i made him dress himself (bryson couldnt wait to dress himself...and get himself into the car seat by himself - they are so different its eerie) and tantrums in general...whining just about every sentence. its been a little difficult with him...but then he flashes you this smile (see picture above) and he looks at you with the same eyes of his father - the eyes that just melt you and you can't stay mad at him for long. oh this boy! he has my number! it drives me crazy!!!



Bryson spent the first 2 weeks of summer with Bryan's parents - his meema and papa - in San Jose. He gave them a run for their money i hear...he did tennis camp with his meema for 2 hours and then would swim for 2 hours and then would golf 9 holes with his papa....like every day...i love meema and papa...and i know they had a blast with him. He has boundless energy this one. Since he got back Bryan has been taking him out on the course a lot and practicing with him here at the Barnes Country Club - he has been improving so fast! He entered his first tournament yesterday and took first place! holy stuff! SO EXCITED! i did not go, but Bryan said he played the best he had seen, totally stepped up his game - of course! there was COMPETITION! he takes after his mama (and dad!) - he par-ed 7 holes, made a birdie on one and bogey-ed one - so it came out to even par (they only played 9 holes). he sank some 8 foot putts and played with total Bryson confidence. when i was tucking him in last night i told him how proud i was of him. "I'm proud of me too mom!" - bryan and i talked about how this is the first award he has won solely on his own merit. that is something to be proud of! bryson also told bryan that golf is now his favorite sport and he wants to play it every day. i really hope he sticks with it...not just because it is difficult to get hurt playing golf...but because he has such a gorgeous natural swing, he could really go somewhere with it!


Bobby boy...Bobby had hand, foot, mouth disease a couple weeks ago and it was AWFUL. poor baby had blisters on his tongue, roof of his mouth, his cheeks and the backs of his lips...it was not fun. for about a week and a half he didnt eat much and was super cranky and had a rough time sleeping...but then...just like that...it was over and we had our happy crazy bobby back! and it was so nice to have him back - i got him from his crib and he flashed a big old goofy grin and oh my gosh...this kid...he just lights up your world! 
with bryson gone, it was just bobby and bodie and so interesting to see how they got on. bobby is talking so much more now - it is so fun to hear him say "Um On Bovee" and equally adorable things. he copies everything his brothers do (aghh!) and is fearless with the skateboard. he is already doing froggy foot while golfing and can balance like no ones business. he is growing way too fast - he can climb out of his crib and just searching for a bed for him is causing me to hyperventilate! he never got the memo that the baby isnt allowed to grow up!
